The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Braddock, the oldest existing town in Emmons County, located in Section 27 of Township 126 North, Range 75 West, of the Fifth Principal Meridian, was established as the first railroad town in the county in the Fall of 1898. The town was named by Frederick Underwood, President of the Soo RR, in honor of Edward Braddock, County Auditor. In 1914 a vote to incorporate Braddock as a village was defeated, but was later passed on October 24, 1916.
